I second that! Talk to the manager.
Just before Christmas, I saw some scraggly looking SDCs at Lowe's and I tried to talk the clerk into cutting the price down from the $10 tag, but she said that she couldn't do that. A week later, I was looking for something else, but stopped at the garden area, wherupon, I saw this large 7-foot Cinnamon Tree that had no price tag. I looked and I looked and saw nothing.
Then a couple of Lowe's people came to me and asked if they could help. I told them that I was just curious about the price of the tree. They immediately told me that the last price on it was $59.99. I thank them and started to turn away, when they said that they'd mark it down to $14.99, so I bought it. Then I asked the lady if she were Miss Kim. When she said yes, I said that I wanted to find out if she could give me a break on a couple of scraggly looking bananas. After some hunting, she finally found the 2 plants and told me that they worth at least $0.10, so again I bought them.
I looked around further, and found 4 other SDCs that were in great shape, and asked Miss Kim again how much they were, and she just wrote $4.99 on each of them.
It pays to ask!
